Shepard at peace with end

Sterling Shepard knows his time as a Giant is coming to an end.

“For sure,’’ the wide receiver said Wednesday of coming to terms with it. “I think this point in time comes for everybody at some point throughout their career. I just look at how blessed I’ve been to be in the same spot for eight years.”

Shepard put up solid numbers in each of his first five seasons after being drafted by the Giants out of Oklahoma in the second round in 2016.

He hasn’t gotten as much playing time the past two years and has just seven receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown this season.

Shepard has 369 career receptions and needs just two more to tie Jeremy Shockey for fifth in franchise history.

Shepard will be 31 next month, but still believes he can play in the league.

“I go through practice every week and I feel like myself, I feel pretty good,’’ Shepard said. “In games, not many reps and everything, but I haven’t really shown it, [I] haven’t had really much opportunity to show. [Still playing is] still on the table for me, for sure.”

Dexter Lawrence was named to the Pro Bowl on Wednesday, the only Giants representative. It’s the second straight selection for the defensive lineman, who becomes the first Giant to get selected to consecutive Pro Bowls since Landon Collins made it three times in a row from 2016-18.

He has tied a career-high with seven tackles for loss heading into Sunday’s finale against Philadelphia.

Saquon Barkley was named a second alternate and Kayvon Thibodeaux a third alternate.

Not much has gone right for the Giants lately, but Gunner Olszewski turned his 94-yard punt return for a touchdown on Sunday against the Rams into being named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

Olszewski’s return was the longest in the NFL since 2021 and the longest by the Giants in 95 years.
